What your fund gets from registering

Registering your fund with GPFR, the Global Pension Finding Register, free for people and for funds, costs nothing, needs no contract and no member data, and your fund can leave anytime. Today it gives your fund four things, listed below, and only what exists today.

What does a fund get today?

  • Former members abroad can find you: with your permission and after our check, your fund's name is listed on our GPFR fund pages in {n} languages.
  • Later, if your fund wants: former members who registered with GPFR can be confirmed by your fund, only under a signed data agreement.
  • A dated record of your registration for your board's file: a documented step in addition to the population register check.
  • No cost, no contract, no member data, leave anytime.

What does registering ask of us?

A work email address, the fund's name, a contact name and a role. We confirm your registration by email. You do not send us a member list, and every email from us carries a link to remove your registration.

Is anything missing?

Matching is not open yet. It opens for each fund only once that fund's data agreement is signed, and nothing is shared unless the person and the fund both say yes. We cannot promise that any former member of your fund is in GPFR.

What if your fund wants more?

Registering is free. Paid tracing exists for funds that want more, such as reaching members in the country where they live now. It is on the pension funds page.

How to register

Use the fund page. To see what people are asked, read the register page. Our free pension check is open to anyone.
